Question Philips BlueVision or Sylvania Cool Blue

I have read a lot of information on the subject of replacement bulbs for our headlights. I have narrowed down my choices to the Sylvania OSRAM Cool Blue bulbs and the Philips BlueVision bulbs. Both of these seem to be of high quality and seem to perform well. I just needed to know which of these bulbs best replicates true H.I.D. lighting. I also wanted to find out what type of bulbs yall are running and whether or not you like them.

I have a set of "Select" 30% Xenon bulbs on order. They are not just a cool look, they are BRIGHT!!!! My bud has them, and he lights up the whole road like a nuclear bomb! There is written all over the box "DOT Approved" for color, glare and brightness, incase your worried about the cops hassling you. They are fairly cheap ($45) and last a long time.

SpankDog those silverstars look nice, but do they put off any sort of blue tint even slightly.

No no.....the acura comes with HID lights, thats my dads car. I was saying $800 beacuse thats what the kit for the truck costs.....i thought. And as far as I know all cars that come with HID lights have halogen fogs and brights.

I had the Silverstars and didn't like them. They're more than a yellow/white color. But they do light up the road better than the Piaa superwhites.
